Skillern Family History
Skillern Name Meaning
English: habitational name from one or more places called with Old Norse skáli ‘temporary shelter’ + horn ‘horn-shaped piece of land’ such as Skeleron in Rimington (Lancashire formerly Yorkshire). Skellorn Green in Adlington (Cheshire) may be an alternative source although it is only recorded from the 19th century and may have taken its name from the family.
